These two photos are equal to each other. My bike is to me as the Batmobile is to Batman. This morning I made a visit to a client in Uptown, made a run for oganic apple juice for a candidate, stopped by another client Downtown, and got to and from my workday via "Dusty Bakersfield"...(my bicycle.)

I felt like a superhero. So efficient! So amazing! So eco-friendly! So Dutch! I pretended I lived in the Netherlands and my "doing business by bike" was not uncommon but rather all too common.
